<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JMP83, post: 1118792, member: 29565&quot;]Evening all -</p><p><br /></p><p>I was hoping someone could inform me the correct procedure in confirming that a bullion coin is legitimate.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On my local craigslist, there is a guy selling two coins I&#039;m interested in.&nbsp; A 2011 1oz silver koala and a 2011 1oz silver kookabura.&nbsp; His prices seem reasonable, in fact a little lower with what I&#039;ve seen on eBay, at under $40.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being completely new to the hobby, I was hoping for some pointers as to how I may ensure I&#039;m buying a legitimate product.&nbsp; I know that with scrap precious metals one can use an acid test, but I&#039;m guessing that rubbing the edge of an uncirculated coin on the testing surface may just be frowned upon.</p><p><br /></p><p>If weighing the coin an option?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, has anyone had much luck on purchasing bullion off of craigslist?&nbsp; I&#039;m sure that is a wide open question, but I&#039;d like to hear some experiences. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice is appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks for your time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
